The Internet Con: How to Seize the Means of Computation by Cory Doctorow
3.0
This is a number of well-documented essays that examine the status-quo of the Internet and how Big Tech seized the free flow of information. Cory Doctorow suggests that while the feudal approach to influence in the tech field is not unique to the tech field, it's the easiest to fix and the best way to start „fixing the world”, I guess.
It's meant to be both an optimistic approach and a pessimistic view to the current situation. I'm not sure I agree with everything written there, but his essays are pretty on-point, and hard to question. Worth a depressing read.
